Matheus continued his journey again. He hurried away as far as possible so as not to be overtaken by Bernardus and his friends. And he had to save Hermes from a blizzard that was about to come from the vampires. However, he didn't know where to go.
Then Bernardus noticed the shattered parts of Queen Rhea's body. He smiled gladly at defeating the Queen of the werewolves. He had also forgotten all the kindness that Queen Rhea had given him. In his mind, that is only about the position and also the award that will be bestowed upon him by the King of Argos.
"You are pathetic, Queen!" Bernardus said quietly. Then he took Queen Rhea's head. "Goodbye Werewolf Queen," he shouted. Then burst out laughing. Bring before Argos. "You guys, hurry after Matheus and Hermes!" Bernardus' orders were immediately carried out by his friends.
Meanwhile,
The Vampire King sat on Cronos' throne. He enjoyed the loot belonging to the werewolf kingdom. Bernardus was seen in the doorway holding Rata Rhea's head.
"Servant to the lord Argos," said Bernardus salute to the King of vampires. He put Queen Rhea's head beside him.
"What news do you bring, Bernardus?" asked Argos. He downed a drink in a golden cup. The red liquid he got from the dead werewolves.
He proudly raised Queen Rhea's head before Argos. "I managed to kill Queen Rhea and brought her head as a gift to you, my lord!"
Argos got up from his seat. Her eyes opened wide as the beautiful face was severed from her body. He deeply regrets the stupid nature of Bernardus who has great potential in terms of war.
However, he was too stupid to take orders from him. He clenched his fists, then stepped forward towards Bernardus.
"Who told you to kill him, Bernardus?" Argos asked very firmly with an angry expression on his face. He stood beside Bernard on his knees. Bernardus did not dare to look at Argos. The voice he caught in his ear, he knew Argos was angry with him.
"I'm sorry, sir! If I did the wrong job," Bernardus said, shaking his voice. He was very scared when his master was angry.
"Stand up, Bernardus!" Argos orders. Bernard complied. He slowly stood up, all his confidence gone when he heard Argos' tone of voice that was furious with him. Bernardus' head did not dare to look up.
Argos turned to his men. Staring sharply full of anger and the desire to beat Bernardus. "What I ordered you was not clear, Bernardus, until you were wrong in carrying out my orders!" Argos said emphatically. Bernardus could not argue. "And you know what punishment you will receive, Bernardus?" Argos asked, which then made Bernardus beg Argos for mercy.
He hugged Argos' legs tightly while begging for forgiveness for his stupidity. "Forgive me, my lord! All of this is indeed my fault. But, I beg of you to forgive me. I promise you! I will not be stupid again with the next order of Lord Argos.
Argos didn't answer. He pulled Bernard's hair up. Inevitably Bernardus also stood up and looked at his master.
"You know, I don't really like subordinates who are never good at work even though they have tried their best, or do they have any great power?" Argos said looked savage. He started to show his dance teeth to Bernardus who had no hope anymore.
Argos' hands clenched into fists, then...
Buuk.
He punched Bernardus in the stomach as hard as he could while shouting. "I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR KILLING THE QUEEN OF RHEA!" Bernard's body bounced against the wall.
In the past, Argos had feelings for Queen Rhea before Cronos proposed to her. But unfortunately, Argos did not dare to reveal it until Cronos first got Queen Rhea. And now, he still couldn't get Queen Rhea because of Bernard's stupidity for not listening to his orders. He picked up Queen Rhea's head on the floor. Argos looked at him. He felt pain in his heart when his love never reached the woman he liked.
Bernardus stood up with blood flowing from the cleft of his lips. Then he glared at the sad Argos. Take a chance before Argos kills him.
"I will kill you Argos!" shouted Bernardus angrily. But Argos is the oldest and strongest vampire. He has sucked blood from many nations and clans so that his strength is unmatched by anyone. Argos' hands held Bernardus' body even though it was a great distance away.
Argos strangled him. Closer and tighter. Bernardus's strength is not comparable to him even though Argos had taught Bernard some of the powers he had. Then he threw Bernard's body aside once more.
Again, Bernard's body collided with the palace struts, causing some damage to the struts. Bernardus remained standing even though his bones felt crushed.
This time, Argos would not spare Bernardus. He did a secret move that he never taught Bernardus. His hands started to move, he seemed to be controlling Bernardus' body. Bernardus' hands started moving on their own, starting to hurt himself. And then...
Jleb.
His hands tucked into his chest, Bernard's eyes were wide open with his mouth agape. His voice was barely audible, but the expression on Bernardus' face looked painfully obvious. Then, the hand continued to enter. It didn't take long for his hand to pop out of his chest. Blood came out profusely, dripping to the floor. In Bernardus's hand was the heart he had forcibly extracted from his body.
Argos unleashed his power move. Bernardus' body fell on the floor with blood splattered on the floor. No longer alive. The Vampire King looked at the pathetic ending Bernard very sharply. "This is payback for anyone who acts stupid just to look great in front of me!" Argos said. He devoured Bernardus' heart to death. The remnants of blood he licked clean.
And elsewhere.
Matheus has been intercepted by the other men of Argos. Five vampires surrounded Matheus who was carrying Hermes. His wolf instincts surfaced when he was surrounded.
